One of Four Known

1866 5C Five Cents, Judd-467, Pollock-560, High R.7, PR63 NGC. Bust of George Washington facing right, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above and the date below. On the reverse, a tall 5 is centered in a laurel wreath, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at the margins. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. Only four examples are presented in the Teichman roster. This die combination was also struck in copper (Judd-468) or bronze (Judd-469), with 11 confirmed.

We note a carbon fleck within the D in GOD, and another below the upper right leaf pair of the wreath.
